Tips For Counter Service?

[initforme]

When was the last time anyone ever tipped a young kid who is trying to sell an iced cold lemonade at their Lemonade stand?

My point is, the tipping has gone crazy to the point, it seems that (most of) everyone needs to get tipped. Why?

I wouldn't ask forva tip I'd just raise my prices. Service excellence is not a part of capitalism.

Yeah, I know...I was making a point.

Why does (most of) everyone "feel" they have to get tipped?
If the Customer Service sucks, they still demand a tip. Believe me, there are some places that do just that.

Probably due to the high cost of living or doing business.

If you raise your prices....people will go elsewhere.

My significant other who was at the game with me yesterday asked a woman where all the tips go to and she replied charities but didn't say which ones. I wonder if I should take that with a grain of salt or not.

There shouldn't be a "NEED" to be tipped. If you do a good job at some places, great! But don't EXPECT a tip.

Charities, that sound suspicious as the tips need to go to the workers.

There are a couple of charities I have been donating to for the past 40 years - One being St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

I figured that sounded suspicious as when I've been out and about before I see jars with signs about donations to kids in need and then I know exactly where my money is going to.

Want me to treat customers well then the wage goes up.

Despite it saying it is going to the children it might not be the case. It might be going to a shady nonprofit that keeps all the money for themselves. I know that there are shady organisations masquerading as nonprofits.

If you raise the wage, you have to also raise the supplies...as well, as the demands. Which you would also have to pay to keep the lights and heat/air on.

I notice at the sandwich shop they ask me for tips. I just hit NO TIP.

AT a sub shop today. Stood for 10-12 minutes as they fixed my 2 subs. Then the employees started arguing about who was working the hardest. Another 5-8 minutes to pay. NO TIP!!!

If you argue instead of work, you don't deserve a tip.

You've got a bad attitude.

True, but at least I can trust those more than I can trust my money going to some undisclosed charity.

So be it. Pretend to pay me I pretend to work.

Honestly if you pretend to work, you deserve your eventual firing.

No, not a bad attitude. It's called capitalism. It's the way the system works. Effort and wage are linked. It's the american way.

If you pretend to pay me why would I work hard? That's not american.
